Eviction is the removal of a tenant from rental property by the landlord. In some jurisdictions it may also involve the removal of persons from premises that were foreclosed. Eviction may also be known as unlawful detainer, summary possession, summary dispossess, summary process, forcible detainer, and repossession. general process consists of 1) giving notice to the tenant (and any other person residing there as well) to leave the premises, 2) if the tenant fails to leave the premises, filing a lawsuit to evict the tenant and regain possession of the property (along with amounts owed for damages, unpaid rent, and/or court costs and attorneys fees) and appearing in court, and 3) if the tenant still remains in the premises, forcibly removing the tenant from them via legal action. Most jurisdictions do not permit the landlord to evict a tenant, changing locks, removing items from the premises, or terminating utility services, without first taking legal action. Such evictions are generally illegal at any time during the process including after a landlord wins an eviction suit; a tenant facing such measures may sue the landlord. No filing fee is included in the fee for our services and all court fees must be paid directly to the Superior Court.
